Alex Warren Essentials

Shifting from internet prankster to sensitive singer isn’t the first thing on most people’s transformation bingo card, but when Alex Warren left the Hype House behind and turned to music, success followed. The California-born balladeer draws heavily on his own experiences in these tracks which touch on the pain of losing his parents and the joy of falling in love with his wife, Kouvr Annon. But he hasn’t left the online world behind completely: “Burning Down” went viral on TikTok before the wider world discovered and fell in love with it. Blockbuster hits “Ordinary” and “Carry You Home” were written for his wife and have resonated with romantics all over the world. “Yard Sale” sees him reminiscing after a breakup, while “Heaven Without You” is the ultimate pledge of eternal love. Shapeshifting from comedy content to heartfelt pop has proved a hit for Warren.
